Paris CNN —It’s the final day of the Summer Olympics and the USA and China have tied in the overall gold medal rankings from these 2024 Summer Olympics.
While Team USA is far ahead in the total medal rankings with 126 in Paris, it went into the last competition of the Games trailing China in the gold medal race by one.
The Asian nation finished with 40 gold medals, and the US had 39 entering the final event – the women’s basketball gold medal game between Team USA and France.
Team USA would win that game in dramatic circumstances, leading to a tie in the gold medal standings.
In 2021, Team USA took the overall gold medal race by one, with 39 to China’s 38.
